Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 8, 1911?.

Application filed April 20, 1918. Serial No. 92,?70.

State of New Jersey, have invented new and useful Improvements inCorner-Pieces for \Vindows, of which the following is a specification.

An object of the invention is to produce a device of this characterwhich shall be of an extremely simple construction, cheap to manufactureand which may be easily and quickly applied.

Other objects of the invention are to produce a corner piece for windowsashes that will materially strengthen the sash at the joints or cornersthereof; to prolong the life of the sash by preventing the accumulationof moisture in the corners of the sash; to facilitate the cleaning ofthe glass and sash and to prevent the accumulation of} dirt at thecorners of the sash and also to assist in maintaining the glass inproper position upon the sash.

The foregoing objects, and others, are accomplished by the constructionand arrange ment of the corner pieces constructed in ac cordance with myinvention and a satisfactory embodiment of which is illustrated by theaccompanying drawing.

In the said drawing:

Figure 1 is a perspective view illustrating the application of myimprovement,

Fig. 2 is a sectional view approximately on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1,

Fig. 3 is a sectional View approximately on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1,

Fig. 4 is a perspective View of a corner piece constructed in accordancewith the present invention,

Fig. 5 is a similar view of a modification, and

Fig. 6 is a View of the blank from which the corner piece is formed.

Referring now to the drawing in detail 1 designates an ordinary windowsash having the usual panes of glass which are held thereon by' putty 3in the usual manner.

In accordance with my invention each pane of glass is provided with acorner piece a, and as illustrated in Fig. 6 of the drawing each ofthese corner pieces is struck from a single piece of suitable,preferably resilient metal.

The corner pieces 4 each include a curved body 5 that has one of itsedges provided with an angularly disposed prong (3 and its opposite edgeprovided with an extension projecting in the direction of the prong andproviding what I will term an apron 7.

The body 1 is disposed to straddle the putty 3 and the prong is forcedinto the sash and into contact with the glass, while the apron 7 isarranged to engage with the outer surface of the sash and to be securedthereto in any desired or preferred manner, such for instance, asthrough the medium of a headed brad S.

The structure disclosed in Fig. 5 of the drawing is substantiallysimilar to that just described, but this device, indicated fordistinction by the numeral 9, is adapted for use in the corners ofcomparatively small sashes, such, for instance, as are employed inrailway cars or. the like, but the saidstructure may be also employed,and as illustrated in the drawing, at the corners of the reduced centerstiles of the ordinary sashes.

From the above description, taken in con- 'nection with the accompanyingdrawing,

the simplicity of the device, as well as the advantages thereof will, itis thought, be perfectly apparent to those skilled in the art to whichsuch invention appertains without further detailed description.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim is:

1. The combination with a window sash, a glass fitted thereto, and meansfor securing said glass to saidsash, of corner pieces, each including abody having an inner prong and an outer apron, each of said cornerpieces disposed to straddle the glass securing means and to have itsprong enter the sash and contact with the glass and its apron to engagewith the outer surface of the sash and to be secured thereto.

2. The combination with a window sash, a glass fitted thereto, and meansfor securing said glass to said sash, of resilient corner pieces forsaid sash, each of said corner pieces including a rounded body havingone of its edges formed with an angularly eX- With the outer surface ofthe sash, and means tending prong and its outer edge formed for securingthe apron to the sash. 10 with an apron extending from the body in Intestimony whereof I affix my signature the direction of the prong, saidcorner piece in presence of tWo Witnesses.
